HR SOLVED THE mystery.

Ahalf drunken Irishman fell in among
some toughs day before yesterday. They
bl1cked his face and hands with lampblack
and sent him INTO the hall of the salvation
army. In the midst of the religious proceed
ing Pat arose to address the meeting. A
colored man with a strongly marked Iri>h
speech proved to be such an anomaly that
the police were called to if possibly identify
the party.
What is it:" inquired bystander as
Officer Frank Brasier was leading the man
to the cooler. "What is til" replied Pat;
"begorra an Irishman il is and as good
man as yourself just then, catching
glimpse Of himself in the mirror OF a show
he stopped, scrutinized his image
for minute, and exclaimed: ''And is that
me; l don't know. Yes. begorra it is, and

Burglars were around again last night.
At about o'clock the cook at the Richey
was awakened by hearing some one moving
about in his room. Before he could capture
til sneak thief the latter managed to e-cape
trough the window, securing, however, no
booty.
John Winters who sleeps in Shae's CON-
mission house. was startled about the same
hour by hearing some one attempting to
break in the front door of the store. He or
dered the person away, but it was not more
than fifteen minut-s before he came to the
side door and asked for admission. Young
Winters went to the door, revolver in hand,
and upon opening the door was confronted
by man who, at the point Of a revolver,
demanded all the money there was in the
store A large English ball dog lying near
the stove sprapg upon the man, knocked the
revolver, which proved not to be loaded.
from hi. hand and threw him to the ground.
Young Winters ran for the police, but upon
his return the thief had fed, leaving with
the dog a. sample of his coat and pants.

about professional thief. 1t is the educa-
ted thief who knows it don't pay to be a
thief, and the sooner society learns this
the sooner will the philanthrOpsts devise a
prison system that will reform in reality
and not in imagination. Ask the profess
SOnal thief in confidence whether it pays
to steal and he will tell you that it don't.
He has learned the methods of the profess
sion and he looks forward to some time
when he can settle in life and live right.
1t is the wOuld-be bad man. who is most
to be feared. and who is farthest from
reformation. He wants to know every
thing and his imagination pictures future
that would make ROthchild proud. He
has not learned that it don't pay to steal.
and he must be dealt with in al intelligent
manner, and be made to see the folly. deg
radiation. inevitable rum. of such a life,
or he will not reform. He may be GRIM
inal from natural tendency. and if he gains
the necessary education to be a professional.
as he deems it, he is a dangerous character
till he learns that it don't pay. 1t is for
this class of men that refOrmatOry methods
must be introduced. if society would be pro-
tected. Is there any such in vogue now?
We answer. no.
In our next article we will deal with res
t!tutiOn for the wrong. and those crimes
where there can be no restitution.

shining into my cell so brightly. renders it a
little difficult for ME to comply with the
special request that has been made for me
to write and tell the boys something
looks SO nice to new eye that the average
passer-by can see no cause for complaint.
Then. too, so much has been written in
THE MIRROR about the prison. that one
about in that line. But have to tell you
that the half has never been told. although
l cannot tell it. for I know not how. Yet
propose to tell the boys as best l can,
briefly. about the dungeon, better known to
some of them as the ''hole," more as a
warning than anything else.
My friends should not be surprised when
tell them that have just spent eight days
and nights in the same hole, for. taking all
things into consideration, especially in this
disastrous year 'S7. am still in luck.
You should remember that none of our
pleasures are without alloy; that is. they
have sting attached to them. None of
the officials should think any the less of a
man who gets in the hole once in year.
for that is what the hole is tor, and cOnvicts
are not what they should be. or they would
not he cOnvictS, and if the hole was not
there. maybe they would not get into it.
The stream cannot flow higher than it's
source. The hole is. or is supposed to be. a
clean, dark cell, with the barest necessaries
of life, designed to bring men to their milk
and show them which side their bread is
buttered on. 1t is also place where man
may, if he can, walk all night to keep from
sleeping and sleep all day to keep from eat

ARTICLE III.

ARTICLE III.
In the two previous articles on the SUBJ
ject we have endeavored to show that the
true object of Imprisonment is reformation
and not punishment; that the tendency of
the present system is to educate criminals,
and in hundreds of instances deprive those
of their liberty who, if the opportunity was
Offered them, would follow the peaceful
pursuits of life, and increase the number of
criminals by offering no sufficient opportun-
ity to reform.
We have said that there are those in
prison who are not guilty of crime, but the
present means of securing their release is
inaccessible to them. and there is no one
authorized by law and clothed with sufficient
authority to investigate their cases and
restore them to liberty. Space will not
permit us to mention any of the many ways
by which it is possible to be placed behind
the bars, and yet be guilty of no crime.
Every state that has created means by
which these persons are sought, has found
them in their prisons, and there are many
more who come to light for men prefer
to let their connection with prisons sink
into oblivion when they are released.
They have then suffered the wrong and
there is no way by which it can be righted.
1t there was an office created, and filled by
those who were equal to the trust whose
duty it would be to visit the prisoners OF
the state and become acquainted with every
inmate, and learn from him the history OF
his life, and take personal interest in
every man. investigate his story and ascer-
tain whether it is true or false; such an
officer could in few months know more of
the actual criminal status of those in prison
than it is possible for any one to know. as
convicts are now treated. How much more
competent such an officer or officers conld
become. than the judge who prononnces
sentence to say how long man should be
imprisoned? And if there was no such
thing as judges sentencing men for fixed
periods OF time, and the responsibility of

was able to take a dramm and a half
(ninety grains) of morphine hypodsrmic-
ally, every day. He was finally cured Of
the habit. The same physician reports
the case of women of wealth who took
two quarts day of whisky. laudauum and
morphine, and was able to conceal the
fact from her family.
The morphine habit generally originates
In physicians prescription. Once con-
tracted IL can rarely be shaken off, EXCEPT
by absolute physical restraint. Its effect
i frat to produce exhilaration. Then
comes the narcotic state, producing a
blissful langor, and finally sleep. While
under its influence the mind and moral
nature are to a great degree unhinged. It
is less injurious to those employed in the
open air than to those following sedentary
pursuits. Like othor stimulants. morphine,
for time, enables one to make great ex-
ertion with but little rest or food, but in
greater degree than other stimuIants. A
druggist OF this city reports the case OF a
man habituated to its use who desired tn
discontinue it, but had not been able
70 do so by the exercise of his own
will. He rented a house in the country, en-
ployed a strong man to guard him, and
gave him strict orders that in no case was
he to be allowed his liberty. The two
locked themselves up together. The pn-
tient tried in every way to break from his
self-imposed restraint, but without sue
cess. After a time he returned to the city
and announced himself cured. But the old
habit soon returned.
Opium is produced from the opium POPPY.

Scotland and other parts OF Europe, but
on account Of the climate and the price of
labor, not with profit. 1t was known bo-
fore the Christian era. 1t Is tho most
complex substance in the materia medica
Among the Buddhists, Moslems and
Hindoos, to whom alcoholic beverages are
prohibited and whose religious rites
necessitate extended fasts, it Is much
used. Opium eating is chiefly practiced
in Asia Minor, Persia and India, smoking
I'm China, and in the islands of the vicini-
~. Opium differs widely in its injurious
effects, according to which of these differ.
ent ways are adopted. The weight OF
opinion is that smoking is the least in
furious.
The greatest per capita consumption OF
opium in tho United States is in the city
of Portland, Me. In India its sale is so
great that there are stores that sell it ex-
clusively. In this country its general
sale is prohibited by law, but the law is
not so strictly enforced but that it is easi-
ly obtained.
